Webinar: Particle Analysis – Is Laser Diffraction Sufficient for Quality Control of Metal Powders?

Powders used for additive manufacturing must meet the highest quality standards.

MICROTRAC offers two methods for particle characterization of metal powders: Laser Diffraction (LD) and Dynamic Image Analysis (DIA). Both methods provide a size distribution, but only imaging methods also detect the particle shape which is crucial for the suitability of a powder for additive manufacturing. In this webinar we discuss both techniques and introduce two analyzers: the SYNC which combines LD and DIA in one instrument and the CAMSIZER X2 which is a pure image analysis device.

Topics:

  • What is Laser Diffraction and what can you measure with it?
  • How does image analysis improve Laser Diffraction results?
  • Why use a dedicated Image Analysis device like the CAMSIZER X2?
  • Application examples: SYNC and CAMSIZER X2 measurements of metal powders
